I have been here for about month and it feels like I just got here. I have pretty much have a routine as of now because I have class from 1:30 to 6:30 everyday and then twice a week I have class in the morning. Even though it is currently a lot of hours I feel like I am learning about the Spanish language and culture and it will be worth it in the long run. This past weekend it was one of the boy’s birthdays so we went into Madrid. Also, two people from Loyola who are studying in Belgium for the year came to visit this weekend. It was weird seeing people who I know from school but who are not in my abroad group hanging out with us in Spain, but it was a lot of fun. So I recently just went on a booking spree in terms of trips in Spain. This weekend I am going to Granada and next weekend I am heading down south to Valencia. Both trips should be great.
Except for going to Madrid nothing really exciting happened this week. A group of us tried to find this Italian restaurant because we all wanted a taste of home but it took us 45 min to finally find it and when we did it was not opening for dinner until 8:30. It is so weird how most places won’t even open to start serving dinner until at least 8pm. I also had another little adventure when trying to join a gym. So apparently in Spain it is not common for women to work out and if they do belong to a gym they only attend the various classes and such. So when we all walked into the area of the gym where the cardio equipment and machines were we got blatantly started at because we were the only girls in the entire section. It’s okay though because now I find going to the gym a hysterical experience. That is all for now. I will probably be posting again after the weekend trip to Granada. Hope all is well in the States.
